Not that anybody probably cares, but the Nationalists Party candidate Ma Ying-jeoh (eek @ spelling) won the Taiwanese Presidential election. It is a glorious day!

It is definitely an ironic day. For the free peoples of East Asia, it is at best an ambiguous one.

Because he's much more favorable to the PRC
Though I guess if I was really evil, I would want the Party that wouldn't do so well to win so they could weaken Taiwan even further and that way bring along reunification more quickly

After conquering Africa and India, NESer forces launched an epic invasion of Britain that was almost a disaster. Four marine divisions were lost at sea, and our only battleship NNS Vermillion Mephisto was sunk by the evil Royal Navy
But Britain was finally conquered after an epic two-month battle. Then NESer forces declared war on the Soviet Union, and are currently fighting along a 10,000 mile front, stretching from Konigsberg to Stalingrad to western China. Nationalist China was annexed by the evil British, as it had first been conquered by Japan and made their puppet, though Japan also declared war on Nesland after NESer forces annexed Siam. Its all a bit messy BTW, I named an admiral in your honour, a submarine captain who has sunk many enemy convoy ships in the north and south Atlantic!

Oh, hey, those elections were today.
Alex, do you give any credit to rumors that unrest in the west, especially outside of Tibet, isn't solely the work of ethnic Tibetans but other segments of the population dissatisfied with the regime? I've heard about student protests in Beijing, and the government recently barred live television shots from Tiananmen Square during the Games, but I'm still doubtful of whether or not the unrest has really expanded beyond the Tibetans.

Geez, not even sure any more. I have actually asked to be banned a few times ~ during exam's etc.
I'd suggest its nudged into the double figures.

By other segments of the population, do you mean the majority Han population or the Tibetan students attending that University in Beijing for ethnic minorities? I'm asking that because I'm aware of Tibetan students in Beijing holding a protest and that, of course, was censored by the PRC; then again, those were for the vast majority Tibetan students so they wouldn't count as an "other segment." Of course, I highly doubt there would be sympathy riots from the Han Chinese after the riots in Lhasa went and attacked Han and Hui shops as well as targeting non-Tibetans.
Overseas-wise, observing from my little niche of California, most mainlander Chinese (thus excluding the Chinese from Taiwan) seem to think what the Tibetans did in Lhasa seen to foreshadow the beginning of a new violent race war against us. The various Tibetan assaults on Chinese embassies/consulates around the world kind of had a role in giving them that perception. Mind you, for the most part prior to the riots they were rather sympathetic to Tibet and hoped for the best; after these riots, the goodwill vanished. "Tibet will be utterly crushed if they try to do anything funny and make China look bad for the Olympics."
As such, I'm highly doubtful that unrest has spread beyond Tibet to the vast majority of the population though I'm not discounting the possibility that other rebel and radical groups, such as in Xinjiang and those who follow Falun Gong, have seized the Tibetan cause as a chance to protest.

I hope your being sarcastic...the President is appointed by the Presidium at best, or perhaps an heir apparent to the guy before him. The Premier is appointed by the President, who consults with the Party (the only Party allowed), and approved by the National People's Congress. That "approval" is a rubber stamp.
The only thing the people vote on is village leaders and "people's congresses" who then do the voting for the NPC. You can't move up the ranks without consent of the Party, you can't really run for much other than the lowest possible level without the consent of the Party either.
You know all of this though.
Your scared of a race war against the Chinese by some vast Tibetan movement?
Didn't the Han push out most of the ethnic Tibetans by now anyway?@daft, don't forgot to name something after me! Like uhh...a tank or...something.

Y'see, this is why its useful to know someone who actually is Chinese, and has a semi-Chinese viewpoint.
It can hardly be called a war where one side has the world's largest standing army, the world's largest population, and centers of colonists throughout the homeland of its enemy, who numbers under six million.
